Terrified

I will not be posting.  There is a lot going on and I am truly frightened.  There have been threats made on my life by an unstable sort and I'm not certain what to do about it.  I'm trying to figure out how I can afford to move because that appears to be my best option if I can find a  decent place that I can afford.

It's really ugly and I'm finding that there isn't much help for me -- as usual.  Sigh.

I will try to visit y'all when I can but I'm a wreck and not very good company.

Happy Blogging!!!!!!

  1. The first thing that you should do is contact the police and file a report. Ask about a restraining order.

    Keep track of all the threats - times, dates, what was said, any witnesses. If they are made electronically save everything - phone tape, email, etc.

    Find out if there are any victim-witness assistance programs in your town/county/state.

    Well, there's a start.

    Keep a record of all the threats: time, date, place, any witnesses, exact words, etc.

    Check to see if there is a victim-witness program available through your town/county/state.

  3. Yikes! There must be someone who can help in some way...letting you stay with them for a couple of days...Keep thinking of a possible solution. You are a smart woman, Kay. Please keep us posted.

  4. It is illegal to threaten someone that way. Call the police. If you have to stay in a motel for a few days, that is an option but there are shelters. Nobody has a legal right to threaten another. Don't take it lightly.

  5. They are right and pretty much covered it. Let us know.

  6. The police will do what they can. If there are criminal charges, be sure to be in touch with the victim advocate. If not, the restraining order can be filed fast and (here, anyway)without a fee. Be sure that someone knows what is happening. Don't delete your voicemails or call logs if someone is threatening by phone.

    Keep your head about you. Panic will make it all worse and more dangerous.

    I'd be happy to help if only you weren't so dang far away.

    You have probably already tried the contacts that I would know about (YWCA, United Way, Red Cross, etc) who can either help or refer you to a shelter/advisor/whatever. Thinking of you - mightily!

  9. Get help now.
    The above advice by H. a.W is good, take it. Don't hesitate.
    Good luck.

  10. I agree with everyone and would add one more thing--don't stop blogging and make sure you contact someone (or several someones) daily. Make sure there is someone who knows you and expects you to contact them and would be concerned enough to call the police to check up on you if they don't hear from you. Don't let the asshole isolate you from the world.

  13. Kay, you've received the right recommendations, and know you're smart enough to follow them. Sorry you're having this to cope with as though life isn't challenging enough. Keep a grip. Know we all care about you and will support as best we can. Am sure you'll keep in touch as you're able.

  15. I agree with everybody. Go to the police and get help. This is so scary. Please be careful, Kay.

  17. How terribly frightening. Please follow the good advice given and move in with a friend if possible until the perp is taken off the streets. Change your phone number and email address. Hide in every way you can. Only a coward would threaten you so try to never go out alone until this is resolved.

    I am so sorry as I know the fear you must be going through. It happened to me when I was young and not as vulnerable.
